Catch up time!

I'll just say hello, it's been a while! I just don't know where the time goes! So, I'll just have to catch you up again. I just don't know where to begin. Well, I have been working on babies, some fantasy and others regular reborn.

This kit is "Empram" by Melody Hess. This little  girl stole my ❤️! She is truly gorgeous and accepts a real pacifier! I love her detail and those lips are just so kissable...mentioning kiss...

Don't ask why, but I had an epiphany as to "what would Gene Simmons look like as a baby"? Here's my vision! I really had to work with this one. I hand sculpted his tongue and took forever to get his face done not to mention his tongue in. Gene S was a retired and the long ago  "Lillian kit" by Antonio Juan.

He was rockin and definitely a hit at the show...I even bought him a mini bass guitar for the show!

So why did he have to come home with me? LOL

Now this little beauty is my albino werepup "Babita"- she's the Lucian Hybrid by Simon Laurens and she has her own little snuggle bed and friend.

She was another time consuming little hit! She even has a wolf pup howl (it's a small 10 sec recording that's removable). I feel in love with her, almost bought another kit at the show then came to my senses! 😵😲😉 I got the "Tinky" Manor Elf kit instead...I'll try just about anything in a kit at least once.

You can meet and adopt from my online web store:

Be on the lookout for "Tinky" and maybe one of her baby sisters in the near future!

Wichita Kansas Doll Show 2019

It has been a wild few months and yes still here! I finally accepted the fact that I cannot do everything...thereby not getting something done. Moving forward, did another Wichita Kansas Doll Show and it was even better than the last! Saw some old friends and met new ones!
Getting ready for setup:

All done:

 We were so happy doing a pre-setup, made life so much easier!

My long time friend /co-worker was my show assistant

and first customer of the day!⬇😊

my little fugly contest baby. I am seriously thinking of making him an AA baby. I just couldn't connect to him. He seemed quite content with big eyebrows ( I redid them 4 times that I can remember and they always came out the same...go figure) 😖😂😂😂😂 I'll have to add the photo where he's in his competition outfit, they were adorable. The contest was really set up nice, didn't actually get to see the babies close up, but the pictures shared showed some beautiful babies for sure!

I also have my online store up and running! It was a bit hair raising but "I got er done"!

So feel free to browse and shop at my store!

The tiny triplet babies yes, I forgot to show the rest of them reborn! LOL

They are known as "Dichorionic diamniotic triplets"

made them their own modified ultrasound too

The girls have anatomically correct tummy plates and Jon has half tummy plate and an anatomically custom soft body. Custom made "dried" umbilical cords.

now meet Jada, Jasmine and Jon!

They all have chocolate caramel skin tones, mottling, veining and dry skin effect achieved with Miracle Blend Air Dry Paints. They are micro rooted with "beautiful baby soft kid black mohair" from (TNGUN Debbie Henshaw) with hand applied Lanugo facial hair and birthmarks on their tummies!

The girls have pierced ears Jada (pearl) Jasmine (silver) and all have magnetic pacifiers

Their skin is sealed with Final step Reborn FX matte sealer.

I am so happy excited with them, that I built them a "prop triple stroller" that now really works for them, it folds down for easy transportation! I ended up doing a little modifying on the base and switched to much lighter wheels (not pictured) of which I am much happier with! So, here they are!

First off, I want to wish you a very happy New Year! 2018 wasn't a truly wonderful year, but I feel blessed that I am in my right mind,a roof over my head. I know it's been a while. Thanking God that the GSD has finally ended! I had to check in and say that I'm still here.
I've been working on and learning "Square"and setting up my new website store and it was a headache for sure! Also started on new babies for the year and the next show and hoping to find homes for the older ones soon. My older sister started out her new year badly, feel down a basement step and busted up her femur bone, luckily not her driving leg. All is well, and she is slowly on the mend and making progress.
I've also been trying out new air dry paints by Ultimate Fusion. I like trying new air dry paints designed for the reborn artist and these paints are pretty good. I really loved BabyFX and these paints remind me of them. I still love the Miracle Blend and it seems the same problem has shown its ugly face. 😟Seems every time I fall in love with a particular paint that they stop making it. LOL
l will be back with pictures and setting up to have a "Sweetheart of a Deal" sale on my website shortly, so stay tuned and check out my store!


From my heart to yours...

Hugs, Judie

Wichita Kansas Doll Show

Well for a first show, Jennifer, Scott and their lovely family, I am very happy to say it was a wonderful success and fun! I got to see old friends and met new ones. The 2018 show participation started out a little shaky but in the end vendors joined in. They were helpful and wonderful hosts. In the previous shows that I have done that kind of special touch was never offered and everyone we encountered were friendly and fun. It was very well organized and coordinated, you wouldn't have known it was a first for them. I might add that they sold out for the 2019 doll show within 24 hours! It was a mad rush after all of the lovely reviews and had I not happened to go on FB that particular evening, I would have completely missed out! Whewwww, in less than 24 hours! Now they have a waiting list just in case some vendors may not be able to attend next year! I knew that they would grow fast, but....wow! Now, I just pray that they keep that reference of personalization, because in 2020 they will definitely need a larger venue and more help. LOLROTF

Marita (Monty) Winters hosted the Wizard of Oz Doll contest using her specified kits and I must say there were some imaginative and beautifully done depictions of the Oz characters! We weren't allowed to show any pictures or naming the entry catagory until after the contest was over. It was all secret and I liked that even though it was hard not to share. That being said, yes I did enter "Zane" as Glinda the Good Baby Witch. I had a ball doing this and I am going to say that it was a shock and honor. She placed 1st as "Glinda" and Best In Show! Never in a million years would I have thought that!

Now for the recap. It was fun and inspiring! I met old and new friends and I loved the special touch!  It was hard to see how they could top this year's venue of "Follow the Yellowbrick Road", but I think that they might have! Stay tuned. Now for pictures!
